HOMEMADE CANDY CANES
These homemade candy canes are SO much better than store-bought, and so fun to make! Just make sure you have a stick of butter handy to keep your hands buttered for pulling so it doesn't stick to you. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! (photo from bing images)

Steps:
- 1. In heavy-bottomed large saucepan or small pot, combine first 4 ingredients and stir until sugar dissolves. Cook, without stirring to hard-ball stage. (265 degrees.) Remove from heat and add peppermint extract. Divide into 2 portions, and add coloring to one part. Pour out onto buttered cookie sheets. (Pour half onto one sheet, then add coloring to the rest and then pour onto second sheet.) when it's cool enough to handle, start pulling each part seperately. (Best done with 2 people, but if doing alone, go back and forth pulling each.) When you feel like you just can't pull anymore, form into ropes and twist them together. Cut into 8" lengths, form into the shape of candy canes, and place on lightly buttered platter til fully hardened.
Tips:
- Use fresh candy canes: Fresh candy canes will give your Lush a stronger flavor and a more vibrant color.
- Don't overmix the mixture: Overmixing the mixture will make the Lush too thick and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Chill the mixture before using: Chilling the mixture will make it easier to handle and will help it set up properly.
- Use a piping bag to create the Lush: A piping bag will help you create smooth, even layers of Lush. If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a plastic bag with the corner cut off.
- Decorate the Lush with crushed candy canes: Crushed candy canes will add a festive touch to your Lush.
Conclusion:
Candy Cane Lush is a delicious and festive holiday treat that is perfect for any party or gathering. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its creamy texture, sweet and minty flavor, and festive appearance, Candy Cane Lush is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
